Haunting Spectre Road

Chapter 14: Who is the murderer

Views:

The story of "Two Heroes on Campus" is finally over. He Jianfei had forgotten to take notes. He just stared blankly at Zijinbo with his pen. Who could have imagined that behind such glory there was such a nasty and fierce power struggle hidden on campus? The duo's supremacy seems well deserved. When Uncle Li saw that A Qiang had finished speaking, He Jianfei was still holding the pen and was lost in thought. He thought he was thinking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and touched him and said, "Hey, boy, if you want to go back and think about it again, you can't let him grow old." Stay there." Only then did He Jianfei wake up, hurriedly moved a few times on the paper as if perfunctory, and then said to Zijinbo: "Then, please tell Senior Aqiang the truth about Dongyao's death." Finally. When it comes to the most sensitive and critical part, everyone used to be very taboo about it. Now, can Aqiang speak out smoothly? Old Man Li glanced at Zijinbo worriedly.

Sure enough, Aqiang was silent for a long time and then said: "Dongyao was killed by me." Everyone already knew this answer. There was an unbearable silence in the room. He Jianfei didn't say anything, just looked at the paper with his head lowered. Old man Li couldn't speak either. After a long time, he heard Aqiang let out a long sigh and said, "It's okay to talk about it. The knots that have been tied up for many years should be untied." . I wrote it very clearly in my diary. Just when I ascended the throne and reached the peak of my career, misfortune also began to fall. I put all my thoughts on her and the student union, and didn't pay any attention to it. The luster of the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen was so dazzling that I would feel dizzy every time I passed by it. I even staggered once. I always comforted myself and said: 'It's okay. I'm just too tired. It's been too long since I've been there. In this world, we are not used to sunshine yet.’ At this time, the real Aqiang in me had begun to awaken his own soul.

"Perhaps she and I are really destined. Before I could taste the sweetness of her smile that only bloomed for me, the intelligence that I had always been proud of hurt me for the first time. I don't mind having to be with her. She was in spiritual love, but I couldn't stand her sanctity being defiled by another boy's body at the same time. The passionate love finally contributed to the implementation of that despicable plan. At the same time, the real Aqiang also began his rigorous Counter plan. However, although my plan failed twice, it was one step faster than Zhen Aqiang after all, and the cancer-causing plan was successful. I was so happy that I thought about it after I went back, but I didn’t have time to go into details and asked her out. I wanted to tell her face to face. But who would believe this ridiculous explanation of possession? I was confused for a moment, blinded by love, and did not take into account the psychological acceptance of ordinary people. The terrible moment came. I It was horrifying to find that her usual smile slowly faded from her face, and those tenderness and ripples that I loved most were slowly becoming rigid and disappearing. I was taken aback and told her that if you don’t believe it, I can cast a spell to prove it to you. Look. Her face was surprisingly calm, and she said calmly: "You don't need to defend. I don't want to know the reason. Sometimes, just knowing the result is enough." The tight outline outlined an extremely cold and glamorous look.

"I was stunned there, my mind went blank. I didn't expect things to develop like this. The huge blow made me lose the ability to deal with it. At this time, she suddenly walked towards me slowly and stood in front of me. . I thought she wanted to talk to me, but two words like ice blades burst out from her mouth: 'Go away!' Only then did I realize that her eyes were empty, she was looking into the distance, and She wasn't looking at me. I staggered back two steps and said in shock: 'You...' She walked past me unsteadily, murmuring: 'True love... Mom... True love...' Her face looked so cute. I was so scared that I didn't dare to step forward and just stood there in a daze. With that hesitation, I made a lifelong mistake. When I came to my senses and ran around shouting and looking for her anxiously, she had already used A rope ended her life on the tree at the top of Magang where she often read in the morning. When I found her and put her down, she could only breathe out but not in. I held her in my arms She was so choked that she couldn't make a sound. My goal was achieved, but why was there no joy in my heart, instead of endless sadness and loneliness? She slowly opened her eyes and carefully looked at me with blurred eyes. , said intermittently: 'My mother often said... A woman can only have true love once in her life... And when you fall in love with the wrong person... there is no more fake love... I... don't believe it, but it turns out... it really comes true. On me.' After saying that, her eyes slowly closed, and her head hung weakly in my arms. I felt my whole body shaking violently, and the green energy on my body had flowed into her body continuously. Injustice The breath is absorbed! I never expected that her resentment would be higher than mine! She left this world with a heart that was even more hateful than mine before. In an instant, I was heartbroken and cried loudly. The purer the love, the more hatred. The deeper I got, the more I kept doubting whether she liked my soul or the real Aqiang's body. I didn't expect that she would always only have me in her eyes, and there would never be a second Aqiang in her mind. , I am Aqiang, Aqiang is me! It was I who personally destroyed the true love that she and I found at the same time! It was I who said I would protect her forever but gave her the most fatal blow! The person I loved most gave her Her deepest hatred, how could she be reincarnated with peace of mind?”

Seeing that he was speaking more and more urgently and panting constantly, Old Man Li hurriedly said: "Aqiang, you are tired. Let's take a rest and talk again. There is no rush." Aqiang turned a deaf ear and continued: "My grievances have been greatly weakened. , but I can still barely resist the righteousness of the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen. I want to find her soul and use my last bit of strength to save my most regretful decision. On the other hand, Zhen Aqiang learned about Dong Ou’s death. After that, he also launched a crazy counterattack against me. Finally, one day, when I escaped from my body again and searched to no avail, and when I returned exhausted at night, I found that the abandoned square in front of the dormitory was already crowded. All the students in the class Standing there, looking at me indifferently, their eyes were full of gnashing hatred. There was a wicker chair in the middle, and sitting on it was the real Aqiang's spirit body. I was shocked, and then I realized that it was a mantis stalking a cicada. They seemed to be very taboo on me. They didn't even give me a chance to explain, and they launched an attack directly. I only heard Zhen Aqiang shout: 'Start!' A burst of dazzling white light and a After the heartbreaking pain in my ass and lungs passed, I returned to this ruined temple, filled with resentment and looking forward to being born again. In the end, I failed to be a good person, but instead brought helplessness to all those who loved me. Healing the pain. God is right to punish me, I will never be worthy of being a human being!"

Aqiang seemed to regret the unbearable past, and ended this thrilling description hastily. He Jianfei looked at Old Man Li who was secretly sad next to him, and asked: "You know Aqiang, I'm talking about the real Aqiang, what spell did he use to attack you?" Aqiang hesitated for a while and then said: "I don't Clearly, but I saw that the students were standing in a very strange position, as if they were using some kind of formation, but it was very different from the ordinary Bagua formation and Qiankun formation. My negligence in the class was the main reason for my failure. Can. Let the whole class believe that I am a powerful ghost, and even sacrifice their lives to kill me. Based on this, I am far inferior to the real Aqiang." The matter is almost over at this point, and further questions will only expose others. of scars. He Jianfei put down the paper without writing anything on it and stood up. Uncle Li suddenly noticed an expression of inexplicable sadness and guilt on his face. While he was thinking about it, He Jianfei returned to normal and saluted in the direction of the main hall. Holding the purple golden bowl, he said with no expression on his face: "Ah Qiang Li Gui, you have done many evil things in the human world, destroyed human lives, single-handedly facilitated the path of unjust ghosts, and caused the destruction of all living beings. You deserve to be punished by heaven. Now Wutai Mountain has been entrusted by the underworld, and is determined according to the regulations of the magic world. Where you should be. You will be judged."

"What?" Old Man Li looked at He Jianfei desperately, "Don't-"

A calm voice came from the purple golden bowl: "I will listen to the verdict."

"A strong ghost, whose original name and place of origin are no longer known. He first killed people in a city, then harmed another party, causing bloodshed, and then single-handedly created a campus nightmare, affecting innocent people. You are full of evil, and your soul should be gone. I miss you. During the Campus Duo period, the whole school was on fire and countless lives were saved. The merits and demerits are equal to each other. You are sentenced to be imprisoned in the Wutai Mountain Demon Spirit Pagoda forever, and you are not allowed to set foot on this mountain without permission!" This is the result! Both Mr. Li and Aqiang were stunned, but at the same time they both breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Aqiang, Mr. Li had deeper doubts in his heart. This result was quite surprising for Aqiang. , then why does He Jianfei still have that sentimental and lonely expression on his face? Did he discover another inside story from Aqiang's words

After He Jianfei pronounced the verdict, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Senior Aqiang, please forgive me, I am also doing official business and I dare not show any favoritism." Aqiang said: "That should be the case. But I'm afraid that veteran may not accept your verdict." He Jianfei said solemnly: "Mount Wutai is the largest sect of Buddhism. It is higher than the Taoist sect to which it belongs. Mount Wutai does not easily pronounce evil ghosts. They dare not force each other. Don't worry. Actually, I still have something to ask for. Senior Aqiang." Old man Li looked at He Jianfei in surprise, Aqiang had already answered: "You want me to explain it clearly to Dongyao, right?" He Jianfei said: "Yes, if you want to solve the knot in Senior Dongyao's heart, only Aqiang It took Senior Qiang to take action. You don’t want to see the situation where Dong Hao cannot be saved and her soul is scattered, right?" A Qiang said with a smile: "I made a poisonous oath back then to get Dong Hao. What I do now is tantamount to violating my oath. , will be punished by God." He Jianfei also knew that this matter was difficult, and was about to give up when Aqiang said again: "However, if you really want me to do this, you can ask Xiao Li to beg me, then maybe you can escape the disaster."

"Me?" What is the connection between A Qiang's poisonous oath and Old Man Li? He Jianfei and Old Man Li looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions. Seeing He Jianfei pouting at him, Old Man Li had no choice but to say: "Aqiang, I beg you..."

"I promise!"

He Jianfei asked in astonishment: "Why are you answering so readily now?" Aqiang said with a smile: "Xiao Li is my life and death friend. The most important thing in the world is friendship. Just because of this word 'righteousness', I break my oath." God can't do anything to me."

Old Uncle Li could no longer restrain the turbulent emotions in his heart, and fell to the ground crying silently. It took a lot of effort for He Jianfei to pull him up and send him back to his room to rest.

After some persuasion, when He Jianfei was about to leave, Old Man Li hurriedly stopped him and said, "By the way, can you think of the formation that A Qiang said the whole class used to deal with him?" He Jianfei shook his head blankly and said, "I I haven't figured out what formation requires twenty-three people. It seems that the number twenty-three is an unknown number in magic. I need to look through the books again. You should sleep for a while. Your eyes are red now. I can't get out even if I want to." It turned out that He Jianfei had already planned it, and Old Man Li felt at ease and decided to take a good rest. Who would have known that the elderly are already weak, and coupled with the exhaustion of traveling and traveling these past few days, they would sleep for almost a whole day, and when they woke up it was already dusk the next day. Old man Li hurriedly straightened up, only to find He Jianfei sitting on the sofa next to him with a sad look on his face. "What happened?" Old Man Li blurted out. He Jianfei said helplessly: "I flew back to Wutai Mountain and almost turned over the Scripture Pavilion, but I still couldn't find the formation." Old Man Li said nervously: "What should I do? Aren't the clues going to be broken again?" He Jianfei said: "That's not necessarily the case. I'm thinking of a bold plan - to go to the underworld to call out the real Aqiang and ask him." Old man Li said: "Is the real Aqiang still there? More than fifty years have passed. He has long been He has already been reincarnated." He Jianfei said: "Senior Aqiang is not at the point where he must be suppressed, and to use the blood of twenty-three people to kill one of him, I always vaguely feel that this formation has a sinister character. God is fair, Even if you are removing harm for the people, if you hurt people too much, you will be rejected from reincarnation and will sink into hell forever. How can you know if he is still there if you don't try? I plan to go to Hades tonight to have a look." As he said, He glanced at the excited old man Li and said, "Of course, first of all, the first thing to do is to fill my stomach. I have already ordered takeout."

Halfway through the takeout meal, He Jianfei said that it was getting dark and he needed to prepare his tools and leave first. Old Man Li was left alone, how could he be in the mood to eat, so he hurriedly filled in a few mouthfuls and followed him. For mortals, Hades has always been extremely mysterious and terrifying. We only hear about it in myths, legends and folk tales. The magic world is also very secretive about communication with Hades and refuses to open it to the outside world. Nowadays, it is rare to see the mysteries of Hades. , Old Man Li would rather go hungry than come with him. But he saw He Jianfei bring a piece of yellow paper over and write a few words on it with a cinnabar pen. Taking advantage of his opportunity to light incense, Old Man Li hurriedly snatched the piece of paper and looked at it. It read: "The 40th place of Mount Wutai." He Jianfei, a lay disciple of the seventh generation, would like to pay homage to Your Excellency, the Messenger of the Underworld: I was not able to repay you for the trouble I caused you last time, so I am really grateful. The evil fate in the world still exists, and the true soul of Zhao Aqiang cannot be undone at this critical moment. I, the Buddha, have the great mission to save all sentient beings, so I only ask the envoy to open the door to the ghost palace again, and offer sacrifices together to express my gratitude." Over there, He Jianfei had finished lighting three sticks of incense, grabbed it and said, "You are too curious, don't mess around. Look, it's about to start." Old man Li said in astonishment: "So simple?" He Jianfei smiled and said: "Do you think I will have the patience to learn something that is too complicated?"

He Jianfei took the paper and finished reading it in front of the incense case. He put the paper on the incense case. After a while, a burst of smoke suddenly appeared from the paper. He Jianfei said "Huh" and stood up with a strange color on his face. Sure enough, when When I took the piece of paper over, there were already other words written on it: "Aqiang's true soul is still there, but he has committed a serious crime and is detained according to the regulations and cannot leave the boundary. If your sect really needs this person, please ask the abbot to come in person." Sinful? Could it be that the formation used by Zhen Aqiang was really some kind of evil formation that went against the laws of nature? He was not a member of the magic world, so how could he know this magic that even He Jianfei didn't know? He Jianfei and Old Man Li looked at each other. Old Man Li took the piece of paper and said, "Are we going to invite Master Zenyue again? Why don't we go to Wutai Mountain in person?" He Jianfei thought of the snow all over the mountain and the tragic situation of slipping several times, and said with lingering fear: "No need Come on, I'll bring the purple golden bowl and see if Hades will release it for its sake." After saying that, he went back to his room to get the purple golden bowl and placed it on the table, and wrote a new talisman paper. Said: "It is difficult for the abbot to come in person. The purple golden bowl can prove it."

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, another burst of white smoke appeared on the paper. This time, Old Man Li quickly picked up the paper. Sure enough, the underworld still refused: the underworld recognizes people but not objects. Old Uncle Li looked at He Jianfei: "What should we do? I think it's better to pay Master Zenyue a visit." He Jianfei stood there in a daze, recalling Master Zenyue's secretiveness when talking about the Three Flowers Body Protection Technique, and his comments on The awe of the old Taoist priest, what power does the Road of Wrongful Ghosts have to make his senior brother, who has always been confidant to him, so cover up? Thinking of this, He Jianfei let out a long sigh and said, "We can't go. Only the two of us know about this." Hearing He Jianfei's tone, it seemed as if he wanted to exclude Master Chanyue. Not allowing Old Man Li to think too much, He Jianfei slapped the piece of paper on the stage and shouted: "The arrival of the Purple Gold Bowl is like the abbot's personal presence. This is the rule set by Wutai Mountain. If things are urgent like water and fire, will the underworld not be flexible at all?" ?" Old Man Li waved his hands anxiously and said: "Be gentle, be careful not to offend the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from behind the desk, and a hazy figure gradually took shape. He Jianfei hurriedly tugged at Old Man Li's clothes: "Have you come out yet?" But Old Man Li was shocked all over. That upright figure, the flying hair, the sharp outline, everything is as familiar as yesterday. Old Man Li's eyes were wet. His left leg was trembling and he took a small step. He couldn't help but call out: "Aqiang" A soft voice sounded: "Who is it? Who called me up from the thousand-year prison?" ?" This was in huge contrast to Aqiang's resolute voice in the past. Only then did Old Man Li realize that the insubstantial Aqiang in front of him was no longer the brother who controlled the overall situation of the campus alongside him. Old Man Li felt sad, lowered his head and stopped talking. Seeing that Old Man Li was hesitant to speak, He Jianfei had to make an excuse and said, "It's me. Are you the real Aqiang?"

"The real Aqiang?" There was a hint of confusion in the voice, and at the same time, the figure's face slowly became clearer. At this time, even He Jianfei was surprised. He was exactly the same as the huge photo hanging in the school history room, but there was no decisiveness or domineering in his eyes, replaced by a gentle and gentle doubt. Zhen Aqiang stood there, his whole body filled with a strong and elegant scholarly spirit. At first glance, he looked like the kind of handsome boy puppet displayed in the window. Is it really this person who looks extremely weak who planned the meticulous plan to overthrow the powerful ghost? Just as he was thinking about it, Zhen Aqiang said: "Zhen Aqiang? Ah, I know, I know why you came to me." There was a thick layer of sadness in his words.

He Jianfei also felt embarrassed for a moment, so he picked up a paper stool and burned it and said, "Now that you understand, senior, please sit down and talk." Zhen Aqiang nodded, sat upright on the chair and said, "It's that devil who called you Are you here? Let him stay in the ruined temple with all his heart and bear the consequences for his past evil deeds." He Jianfei said: "No. He has been imprisoned in the Wutai Mountain Demon Spirit Pagoda forever. The reason why we came to see our senior is actually to Senior Donglu’s matter.”

"Donglu?" Zhen Aqiang's body trembled slightly, "She... what happened to her?" He Jianfei briefly described the origin and development of the Wrongful Ghost Road. The real Aqiang sighed softly, closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my uselessness, it's all my uselessness." He Jianfei was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that the real Aqiang would get angry. All clues were lost. After a long time, Zhen Aqiang seemed to have made up his mind and opened his eyes and said: "Okay, I can tell you. But before that, don't you want to know why I still can't be reincarnated to this day, and I am even strictly controlled by the underworld? "He Jianfei nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot. What did the senior commit?" Zhen Aqiang said: "Since you are a member of the magic world, have you ever heard of the 'Twenty-Three Boys Formation'? 'This formation?"

"Twenty-three boy formation?" He Jianfei carefully recalled the formation he remembered, and answered affirmatively after a while, "No. Twenty-three does not have any special significance in Buddhism, so it is not usually used in formations." Zhen'a Qiang smiled slightly: "Sure enough, at that time he said that this formation had been locked up as early as the era of Buddhist and Taoist gods, so that this secret could never be leaked. I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect it to be known as the first magic spell. There are no relevant records about Wutai Mountain in Yijiajia?" Him? who is he? He Jianfei was about to ask, but Zhen Aqiang waved his hand to stop him from interrupting, and continued to explain: "It is said that the Twenty-Three Boys Formation is an evil formation passed down from ancient times. It uses the blood of twenty-three people." As an introduction, it stimulates the center of the formation to condense mana, and finally concentrates these rays on one point, which can create hundreds of times the destructive power of ordinary formations. Legend has it that a long time ago, a god fell in love with a mortal woman. She created this formation and finally broke the seal of the heaven, but in the end angered the gods and Buddhas in the sky, who worked together to imprison him in the water prison of the ghost world, so that he could never meet his beloved. According to this legend, Anyone who uses this formation will be detained in a prison in the ghost world and endure endless suffering. They will not be reincarnated until a thousand years later. If you tell outsiders the truth about how you used this formation, you will lose the qualification to reincarnate and become a ghost forever. Realm." As soon as he finished speaking, He Jianfei was already shocked: "What?!"
